Hershey Gardens is hosting its annual kid-friendly Pumpkin Palooza on the last two weekends of October.
On October 19, 20, 26, and 27, from 9am to 5pm, families are welcome to come in costume and trick-or-treat at four Hershey’s candy stations. This year’s event will feature over 200 hand-painted pumpkins throughout the gardens, each painted by students from local high schools.

Not only are pumpkins scattered around the various flower beds, but the gardens will also present their unique 14-foot “pumpkin tree” and colorful 9-foot mum display!
There will be a wide selection of food trucks, such as Marsico’s Taste of Italy, The Good Good Coffee Cart, Shorty’s Funnel Cakes, and more, each day!
Guests will also have the opportunity to meet live animals in the Creepy Creatures Gallery, including tarantulas, frogs, and walking sticks.
The event will be much more than sightseeing, as Hershey Gardens is offering face-painting activities for all children.
Pumpkin Palooza is included in Hershey Garden general admission tickets. Pricing is $12.50 for children ages 3-12, $16.50 for individuals aged 13-61, and $15.50 for seniors aged 61 and over.
